Professor Benjamin Friedrich assumed the Heisenberg Professorship for Biological Algorithms at the Cluster of Excellence Physics of Life on June 1, 2021. Prof. Friedrich had already headed the eponymous research group at the research cluster cfaed (Center for Advancing Electronics Dresden) since April 2016.
During a small ceremony on May 30, 2021, which was in keeping with the pandemic regulations, the Rector of TU Dresden, Prof. Ursula M. Staudinger, handed over the certificate of appointment to Prof. Friedrich. This ceremony was the official start signal for the professorship, which draws upon expertise in physics, engineering and biology. The tenure-track professorship “Biological Algorithms” is located at the Cluster of Excellence Physics of Life (PoL) of TU Dresden and is associated with the Center for Advancing Electronics Dresden (cfaed) and the Center for Molecular and Cellular Bioengineering (CMCB). In addition, Prof. Friedrich teaches at the Faculty of Physics.

cfaed congratulates Prof. Karl Leo for being awarded the "European Inventor Award 2021" in the category 'Lifetime Achievement'! The prize is being awarded by the European Patent Office (EPO). The jury says: "German physicist Karl Leo transformed the electronics industry, bringing sleeker, brighter displays to smartphones and other electronic devices. Leo's pioneering work with semiconductors led to the development of the highly efficient, cost-effective organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) now found in the screens we use every day." The all-digital international ceremony was held on 17th of June.
Karl Leo was one of the Principal Investigators of cfaed in its phase as a Cluster of Excellence. He served the cluster also as a Research Path Leader and as a Career Development Director. He is still in close cooperation with cfaed as one of the cluster's Associate Members.

Fantastic news from the markets: On June 10, 2021 Xilinx, a world leader in FPGA technology with around 5,000 employees, announced the acquisition of Silexica. The company Silexica providing software development tools was co-founded bei cfaed professor Jeronimo Castrillon (Chair for Compiler Construction) in 2014. It once was a spin-off of his work at the ICE Institute at the RWTH Aachen together with Weihua Sheng, Max Odendahl, and his doctoral advisor Prof. Rainer Leupers. Silexica has been successfully producing bleeding edge C/C++ compilers and programming technology for heterogeneous computing systems since then, and secured over 28 million USD from international investors in the process. First seed funding has been provided via the BMBF EXIST program, and early technology adopters from industry included Huawei and Samsung.
"We are particularly looking forward to see the result of the integration of Silexica’s SLX FPGA with Xilinx’ VitisTM", says professor Castrillon. "The CC Chair is proud of Maximilian Odendahl (Silexica’s CEO), Johannes Emigholz (Silexica’s COO), and the rest of the team at Silexica for the amazing work over the past years!"
